Fricken and in . Step up .

I just went to set up for my new apartment and apparently the line going into the building is blocked for . I've been with TekSavvy for probably close to 20 years (National Capital Freenet before that).

Especially ridiculous that they can do this going into an building and charge tenants whatever ridiculous inflated rates they want.

I'm still a little annoyed by 's positioning in order to be bought out in the coming months, if only because I can predict what will happen:

Bell will come in with a good faith offer to purchase TekSavvy (one of the last big third-party internet providers!!) for pennies on the dollar, and then they will immediately carve up the customer base. DSL/Fiber customers to Bell, and Cable customers to Rogers/Cogeco.

Blech....

I am very saddened by this news. was one of the last independent providers of internet (with fiber offerings in Chatham area) and resellers of DSL/Cable, and fought the good fight in trying (a futile effort, as it turns out) to lower prices for customers.

After this, we will be left with the triopoly of telecom providers (/#Rogers/#Telus) in a market where we already pay the highest connectivity prices IN THE WORLD.

Okay, I'm no corporate but if you're in the market for internet and want to give a try, their summer sale is on now! I just signed up for 120Mbits service for just under $70/mo all-in.

Am currently using Start.ca, paying the same for half the speed.

I like TekSavvy because they fight the good fight against incumbent telecom providers who have a near-stranglehold monopoly on the market. Recently, Start also got bought out by Telus.

@ironiciconic I can't say enough good things about either. They really do fight the good fight. If you're on the west coast, forget and do yourself a favor and get TekSavvy.

Do any 🇨🇦 ppl here use as their , specifically w/ Rogers providing the physical ? I'm stuck with cable for my 'last mile' but would like to change.

1. If problem is wire between deployment point on pole (in my case) to demarcation on house, who do you report it to? Imagine Rogers service would be even more futile than when an actual customer.
2. Same question if the problem is further up the line on the last mile....

Thanks!
Please boost for reach.

The government proposed a draft Policy Direction earlier this year. It was sort of a consolation prize, announced at the same time the government rejected competitors' appeals of a CRTC decision that is absolutely destroying competition as we speak.

My kneejerk reaction to the Policy Direction is here on the bird app: twitter.com/kaplanmyrth/status

made some submissions on the draft Policy Direction, covered on our blog: blogs.teksavvy.com/governments

To be clear, if it were up to them, those large, dominant incumbents would not sell the access services at all, and companies like would not exist.

Without some regulatory intervention, most residences would only have two options for Internet: one phone company and one cable company. Think Bell and Rogers in Toronto, or TELUS and Shaw in Calgary.

So the requires those large incumbents to sell access to certain parts of their networks to competitors. That's how companies like and others get access to their wires to offer competitive services: the incumbents are required to offer them, at regulated rates.
